Monkey Aortic Smooth Muscle Cells are isolated from tissue of Cynomolgus Monkey aorta. Monkey Aortic Smooth Muscle Cells are cryopreserved at passage 1 and delivered frozen. The cells are characterized by immunofluorescent method with antibodies to α-smooth muscle actin. Cells can be expanded on a multiwell culture plate ready for experiments (or cells may be expanded for 2 passages at a split ratio of 1:2) under the cell culture conditions specified by Gentaur. Repeated freezing and thawing of cells is not recommended.
Porcine large artery smooth muscle cells are derived from tunica intima and tunica media of healthy, fibrous plaque-free porcine arteries. They are cryopreserved at first passage (PCASMC at second passage) and can be cultured and propagated at least 16 passages.
Rabbit Aortic Smooth Muscle Cells (RbAOSMC) are derived from the tunica intima and tunica media of healthy, fibrous plaque-free rabbit aorta. They are cryopreserved at second passage and can be cultured and propagated at least 6 population doublings.
Canine Aortic Smooth Muscle Cells (CnAOSMC) are derived from tunica intima and tunica media of normal canine aorta. They are cryopreserved at second passage and can be cultured and propagated at least 10 population doublings.
